Arrives to Shang Hai.Upon arrival in
Shan Hai, I am met and transferred
to the hotel. Relaxed during the
remainder of the afternoon and
evening to recover from the jet lag.
Day 1
• Yesterday I arrived to Shang
Hai, there is no time to waste, I
will go and visit, the Oriental
Pearl TV.
• The Oriental Pearl
TV Tower is one of
the distinctive
landmarks in the
Shanghai skyline. It
rises above the
banks of the
Huangpu River to
468 meters (1,535
feet). A view like
that would be
breath taking. (Plus
Ultra Violet was
filmed there.)
• After leaving the tower I would head
over to Nanjing Road. This would be
a good place to visit because it’s
one of the most important
commercial and tourist streets in
Shanghai, which stretches from the
bund to Yanan Xilu. It is a good place
to learn the history and culture of
Shanghai.
•
• Yuyuan Garden, it has more
than 40 attractions in the inner
and outer gardens, both built in
the Ming Dynasty classical
style.
• The garden is believed to be
built in the Ming Dynasty more
than 400 years ago. Built in
traditional Chinese style with
numerous rock and tree garden
areas, ponds, dragon-lined
walls and numerous doorways
and zigzagging bridges
separating the various garden
areas and pavilions, it would
be really neat to visit a place
with such a long history, and
haha, it’s still standing!
• Place & Transport: Shanghai
Today's Activities: Shanghai
Museum.
• Meals: Breakfast- Youtiao or You
tiao is a long, golden-brown,
deep fried strip of dough in
Chinese cuisine.
• 1952: Museum founded
and first open to the
public in the former
Shanghai Racecourse
club house, now at 325 W.
Nanjing Road.
• 1959: Museum moved into
the former Zhonghui
Building at 16 S. Henan
Road, which previously
housed insurance
companies and bank
offices.
• Okay so now I have visited all of the
major attractions in ShangHai that I
wanted to, now it’s time to go to a
new city. Next stop, Beijing. Beijing
is China's second largest city, after
ShangHai. It is a major
transportation hub, with dozens of
railways, roads and motorways
passing through the city. It is also
the focal point of many international
flights to China.
• Okay it’s day four of my trip,
that means I only have one
more day left! I would have to
agree that these past four days
has been a wonderful trip, even
checking into the hotels were
great! So my next stop is,
Temple of Heaven.
• The Temple of Heaven
is the grandest cult
architecture complex in
the world and a
masterpiece of the
Chinese people created
in ancient times. It
covers 2,700,000
square meters (667
acres), which is nearly
four times the area of
the Forbidden City. The
temple was
constructed in 1420
during the Ming
• My next stop is Datong,the town was
founded in 200 BC during Han Dynasty and
was called Pingcheng (??, Pinyin:
Píngchéng). It was sacked at the end of
Eastern Han Dynasty.
The industrial town of Datong lies in the
north of Shanxi province on a plain which
is shielded to the north and south by two
sections of the Great Wall of China. There
is a rail link between Datong and Beijing.
•
• Well sadly it was my time to go,
I traveld back to Shang Hai after
five wonderful days in such a
beautiful city…it wasn’t easy.
But now that I’m back I made
this wonderful presentation of
photos and places to visit for all
of you to enjoy.
